I recently read about how our local, Maryland, chicken farmers were getting
highly resistant bacteria from their chickens that had been fed antibiotics
in their feed.

Doctors have not known better than to cooperate with their patients in creating
more hostile bacterial by excessive use of antibiotics. AMFs have not
know better than to cooperate with farmers to fatten up their cattle and
poultry by the use of antibiotics in their feed.

There is a recent study that said: "The [London] Times says the lab's Dr.
Henrik Wegener has determined that a common form of bacterium found in the
intestine became resistant to vancomycin, a widely used antibiotic, when
a similar drug was used in animal feed."

Bacteria mutate to stronger versions when they are in the presence of antibiotics
in the long term. Unfortunately this process could have produced our
"Killer Hamburgers". This process also produced bacteria that is harder
and harder to treat. This process has made hospitals less safe places.
Recently in Europe they banned antibiotics in the feed of chickens
because killer bacteria had been created. Recently they found that
they could reduce bacteria by feeding cattle hay, instead of grain, before
they were sent to the slaughter house.

Since a hostile environment made our bacteria more hostile, is is possible
to give our bacteria a kinder and gentler environment to make them kinder
and gentler? What do you think? What do you feel a solution is?
I wish for many others than the ones using the standard medical model
to work on better ways.

I recently read about a company that got an award from the NIH alternative
therapy office for combining growth factors with homeopathy to make a real
difference in AIDS therapy. Who else will follow new ways to better
health?

2. The Bible says "be fruitful and multiply." It seems
that mankind got that backwards. We have over multiplied, before we were
over fruitful. It would be heaven on earth, when we get that in order.
This planet could support many times our population, when we learn to assist
our planet in being fruitful, first. We could plant the deserts, and have
them bloom, instead of cutting down more than what we have. We will, when
our collective wisdom reaches the level of understanding, to be fruitful
first and then multiplying. When we are multiplying at a rational rate we
will have reached a higher collective wisdom. Where can you be fruitful
first and be part of the shift to our heaven on earth? Where can you
help raise our collective wisdom?

3. We were going through a wonderful time politically under
Clinton. We have the Democrats willing to look at how the Great Society
put incentives in place that led to a less great society. We have the
Republicans willing to look for more compassion as they look at what to cut
back at the federal level and transfer to the local level. Both sides
are getting along better and trying to find ways that work.

Now we are going through a very bad time politically under Bush. We
have few democrats willing to find ways to help the republicans be rational
and few republicans willing to find ways to help the democrats be rational.
We need ratioal moderates in both parties to recover from our madness.
Part of our country and its current leader has gone mad. He has
started a policy of first strike warfare and he has destroyed most of the
good will from most of our world. Our country and our leader are in
need of healing. We are all in danger of heading down a similar path
like Germany before the second world war.

Why not do the research first? Why not fly before
buy? Why not find what has worked on a small scale, and then scale
that up? Why not scale down things that are not working until they
begin to work?

Simple questions. Send them to your recovering politicians to help
them recover. Join with those that listen.

4. There is concern about "global warming". There
is an emphasis on need for control of carbon dioxide emissions. We
tend to have a control instead of a transformation mentality.

Why not consider incentivizing the planting of plants,
to naturally balance the oxygen and carbon dioxide ratio. We would
end up with a garden of eden, as a side effect, with more balanced weather.
The Chinese reduced their desert dust storms by planting enough trees
to serve as surface wind reducers. Perhaps windmills may have been
smarter to produce electricity.

A TV news report said we have five times as many people in prison as Great
Britton. Yet we still have higher crime statistics and do not feel any safer.
I heard on TV this morning that we have one out of a hundred in prisons
now. What would I do differently if these were my children? A
lot. I saw a TV report on how we now use our prisons to try and take
care of our mentally ill. Do you want to face all of these people that
are made worse by our present system?

Another TV news report said there was a FBI report that a quarter are wrongfully
there in the first place. The FBI report showed that where they had genetic
DNA evidence in 8000 cases, 2000 times our justice system put the innocent
person behind bars. That is a 25% error rate that needs to be corrected.
A sample of 8000 is a large enough sample to determine what is happening
in our justice system that is criminal.

When we have 1/4 of the wrong people there, adding their resentment of their
injustice to an already angry mix, we have not designed a very wise system.
The other 3/4 have already demonstrated their anger by their breaking
society's laws.

It is time to do something better. It is time to do some research and
development to find better ways for the justice system to work. We
need to fly before we buy any improvements. We did not do the research
in the past and are experiencing the consequences of our mistakes.

The first research we can do is to find where the research has already been
done and has not been used. The next research we can do is complete the research
that has been started but not completed. The last research we can do is to
try new ideas.

An example is that in Great Britton they tried giving drug addicts their
drugs from their health system doctors. They only required that the
doctor ask what the addict was doing to get responsible work. Addict
got off their drugs and the crime rate went down.

Perhaps we have paid too much attention to the crime news and our politicians
using acting tough on crime and our media. We seem to have created
more crime than the rest of the world. Perhaps it is time to pay attention
to what is working in reducing crime.

I wrote to a group: "For example: I could retrain "criminals" to be socially
acceptable loving and gentle people, if I ran the equivalent of Marine boot
camp my ways and it lasted as long as it took with different incentives and
processes."

A major incentive I would have would be a pardon for those that graduate
from this justice system. This pardon would include the characteristics
of the witness protection program. The graduated would have a real chance
to start over as restored members of society. We all know the results
of our current system where it is difficult to get a job on getting out of
prison and where they are the first suspects for the police.

The major processes would be learning experiences to learn new ways of healthier
thinking and learning how to earn a living.

Someone wrote back: "I am not sure where the belief that boot camp of any
kind changes sociopaths comes from. There is little evidence that true
sociopaths, those who have no empathy, have a need for control over others,
take pleasure in the pain and humiliation of others etc get better due to
any treatment."

I wrote: "First, the belief that boot camps can change people comes from
those that have had that experience. It also comes from those that
see the large changes in those they know that go through the process. It
is easy to understand how someone who had not been there and done that and
not had that done to them would not understand. Second, I would like you
to notice I used the term "criminals" in quotes and not "true sociopaths".
I would not choose to set them, or myself, up for failure. That is
not to say I would not accept that challenge as a separate experiment. For
example, I have been a friend to a street person that self described as possessed
by demons and cursed and spat continuously. I just viewed him as needing
a friend and in need of spiritual recovery. So I was just a friend
with some skills of forgiveness and that person is recovering. Third,
just sentencing "criminals" to the Marines as they are, would produce better
results than the system we have. I do not suggest this in practice,
since it would be cruel and unusual punishment and therefore against the
US Constitution that I swore to uphold and defend as a Marine."

That last was a joke. It can not be cruel and unusual punishment since
we let our young people join the Marines. It can not be cruel and unusual
punishment in terms of the writers of the Constitution that knew real cruel
and unusual punishment. It takes strong dedicated people to protect
us.

They also wrote: "Having worked in a prison I can say that there were men
there who were more a product of environment than a severe personality disorder.
However, the idea of making any real inroads with someone with antisocial
personality disorder via boot camp, spiritual guidance, education, therapy,
or long term incarceration is just unfounded."

I wrote back: "We do have founded results from out current system. Our
current system is not doing a good job of healing either part of personality
disorder or environment or even genetics or family history. Of course
we would not have any results from a forgiving system, because it has not
been tried. However I refer you to the story of the ex con that was
hired by a person in prison for a white collar oops. He went on to
become the president of a company that had great success by hiring ex cons.
It is in the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, which I also commend
to all. My guess is that we have enough data, we just have not looked
in those directions yet."

They also wrote: "Our present penal system works to keep these folks away
from the rest of society long enough to "age out." This means that
they eventually run out the energy and fury it takes to commit the kind of
crimes they are capable of as young people."

I wrote back: "I agree that aging and the maturity is something that helps.
Unfortunately the vindictive part of our society has willed spiritual
death to part of themselves by denying hope to part of us. The new
programs, to report on the location of unforgiven people getting out of prisons,
also deny hope. The prejudices of a record and loss of citizenship
is a loss of hope.

If I was designing our system, it would have hope of a good life upon graduation.
I would not touch the current system, because that would be the
consequences of not cooperating with my new system and graduating.

They wrote: "Prithee go hence. Or I shall show the cinders of my spirits
through the ashes of my chance." W. Shakespeare: Anthony & Cleopatra

I wrote: "Appropriate quote to demonstrate the loss of hope and soul killing
in the system we use."

We sometimes have a different justice system for our children and our adults.
We seem to somewhat recognize that children do not have as much control
of what they do as adults do. We seem to recognize that we might be
able to salvage our children but not our adults. We sometimes get
frustrated and put our children into our adult system. We seem to recognize
that some adults do not have control of themselves due to mental illness.

How can we really draw the line between children and adults? How can
we really draw the line between mental illness and criminally insane? How
can we really draw the line between the level of powerlessness? How
can we really know who we can salvage and restore to citizenship?

Are we afraid to do real research? Are we afraid to find better ways?
Are we not willing to give up our judgments? Remember that our
judgments are coming upon us.

I recently read of a study that showed that men that were circumcised were
more varied in their sexual interest than the uncircumcised. Does the
God of the old testament want us to have more varied sexual interest now?
Or does God want us to quit wounding our male children? I notice
that we are getting around to trying to stop female circumcision. I
am recommending asking Him. The answers I get is a preference for less
wounding and that we are wounding ourselves by our own programming of ourselves
and that we need to learn better.

If we are doing circumcision to support doctors and hospitals, I am wondering
why doctors unconsciously want this effect. I know that a wound is
a wound. I know that any surgery has risks and side effects.
I know that we need to recover from our wounds that we create.

What if men's interest in pornography is incentivized by this wound's attempts
to heal? What if our rape rates are incentivized by this wound's attempts
to heal? What if our excessive violence is incentivized by this early
wound?

I know that violence is violence. I know that violence creates more
violence. What if our society is more violent because of our doctors'
and parents' ignorance.

Would it not make more sense for our religious righteous to be attacking
the real problem, our need to wound our men? All they are doing now
in their ignorance is making pornography more desirable by their attacks.
That which we suppress becomes over expressed. Again we have
more of a control than a transformation mentality.

Would it not make more sense for both the religious righteous and the rest
of us to spread more truth and information, so that less doctor and families
are less ignorant of the facts? Would this not be steps towards a garden
of Eden [which means pleasure]? After all, Heaven's Gate is Here and
not in a Comet.

I appreciate your courage in showing an even handed show on the facts of
the case, to the extent I could tell.

First, I must state that my belief is that everyone involved did the best
they knew with what they knew, and did not know that they did not know.
Many were ignorant, but that is just not knowing.

Second, I must state that I have a masters in applied psychology, but I do
not now call myself a therapist because of the agendas of some therapist
cause them to lead their witnesses, just like lawyers do. I do call
myself a recovery coach or happiness coach or spiritual therapist, things
like that.

It is totally unfair for the state to have "their" therapist leading
impressionable witnesses for months. The defense in fairness should
have "their" therapist with the same opportunity to make it fair. That
includes the trial of Bob coming up.

It is totally unfair ignorance to have kept those people in jail for so long
without a fair trial.

It was totally unfair for the state to ignorantly persecute, not prosecute,
those people.

There is such a thing as a false memory syndrome. There was even an
experiment that had women observed in a dentist office being given dental
procedures with laughing gas. Although the observers saw nothing happen,
many of the women said they were sexually abused. We have things in
our unconscious that come out under certain circumstances that we can even
believe, but they are just not reality. They are our reality when we
add in our unconsciousness, but we are unconscious of that.

Perhaps someday we will move beyond witch hunts and Scopes trials. I
live in that hope.

Of course it was fair from a spiritual perspective where the people that
were unfairly persecuted had the same unfair persecution of others in their
subconscious. But they did not know that was why they were persecuted.
The first step is to fight for fairness on the surface so that the
unconscious material can be healed by a perception of fairness.

The perception that came across in the FRONTLINE piece was that you can not
get a fair trial when you are accused by children of sexual abuse. It
appears like there is no chance of a really fair trial as long as we are
so ignorant.

There have been cases of witnesses telling of satanic rituals that were
demonstrated to not have happened physically. Perhaps there have been
some that have been demonstrated to have happened. We can not tell
the difference. There is a lot of material on line on the false memory
syndrome. There are good books on the false memory syndrome. There
have been cases of witnesses telling of killings and sexual abuse that were
later found to be not reality. There have been cases that witnesses
were accurate. We can not presently tell the difference. Even
"lie detectors" are false positive and false negative a high percentage of
the times. They can not tell the difference between false memories
and more accurate memories.

The fact is that I can not tell the difference between a dream or other
unconscious material when it comes up as I am coaching a player's recovery
or my own. I can not tell any authorities what comes up, because I
do not know what is true without some physical evidence. There are
laws that try to force regulated therapist to reveal this previously unconscious
material, as if it is reality. That is an ignorant law from ignorant
law makers that are not awakened enough to be leaders yet.

A wiser focus would be on learning how to forgive and how to thereby transform
any unconscious material so that we have less negative influences on our
planet. A wiser focus would be on learning how to tell the difference
between false memories and accurate memories. Accurate memories is
almost an oxymoron.

Then I saw DATELINE on TV on the case in the northwest about a detective
that took in two girls that either he told to tell about a child sex ring
or they told him. In any case this was another witch hunt without physical
evidence or even other witnesses.

Another case where the defense did not have the same intimate access to the
witnesses. Another case where the accused were guilty till proved innocent.

This time only the poor and ignorant went to jail, although others were deeply
wounded by paying for their lawyers.

Then I saw a story about how DNA was finding the innocence of almost half
on death row in Indiana. One wonders how many more would have been
proved innocent if there had been physical evidence or where the physical
evidence was destroyed.

How long can we keep on executing people when it costs more in time and money
and the "justice" system is so poor?

How long can we keep on electing more politicians that promise more death
penalties instead of research on how to get better?

8. It is not surprising that a politician who had accused
others as a part of acting like a politician would now be on the receiving
end of accusations.

I found it interesting that in a news program they had a discussion of women
about the Kathleen Willey sexual harassment case.

Several women felt that both our president and Ms. Willey could be telling
the truth from their point of view.

Then I read an AP report on 19 Mar with the following:

"In another October 1991 interview, Clinton explained why he found both Hill
and Thomas credible in their testimony.

"I believed them both a little bit," he said. "My feeling after listening
to the whole thing was that the truth was something that will never come
out, that in their own way they both felt they were telling the truth.""

This all reminded me of something I had written about before, the false memory
syndrome. We can not remember clearly because of our unconscious stuff.
We do not know that we have unconscious stuff because we are unconscious
of that stuff. That unconscious stuff biases our memories since that
unconscious stuff is making itself conscious where it can.

There was a research experiment in a dentist office. The researchers
had a one way mirror to watch the patient and the dentist. The patient
was given laughing gas. A normal dental procedure was observed by the
researchers. Afterwards the researchers interviewed the female patients.
The researchers were startled to hear that a large portion of the female
patients remembered sexual intimacies with their dentist. Perhaps that
is why I now find a reluctance of dentists to use laughing gas. Sexual
harassment is now a serious matter. Those repressed memories that are
released by the laughing gas are now dangerous. Perhaps those in the
presence of our president had some of that laughing gas effect. Perhaps
everyone is telling the truth as best they know it considering their
unconsciousness.

September 1998

When we are not telling the truth we have learned as children that telling
the truth brings punishment. We all lie some ways from time to time.
I would be for everyone's upliftment when we all forgive ourselves
for judging ourselves as liers. We would become stronger with less
need to lie. We could clear some more of our fear of our parents by
forgiving ourselves for judging ourselves as unfair or unwise or punishers.
You put in what works for you. These work for me.

9. As I completed my income tax forms again this year,
and all previous years and got my records together, I again wished for a
much simpler and fairer system. The system we have takes too much work
and still is not fair. I again read of some rich not paying anything
and I know the drug dealers are not paying their fair share. Everyone
would pay there share with a national sales tax that could include business
transactions. The rate would be low when the tax is spread to those
that do not pay their share now.

When we decide to shift to some form of national sales tax we will need to
phase it in over 10 years. It would be too big a shift to so much a
simpler system. There are so many that make their living off our
frustration with the present system. There is the IRS, the tax lawyers,
the computer programs and tax assistants and all those working tax strategies.
We would need time for these people to shift to more worthwhile
professions.

It is not that we do not have this in some forms now. We could be paying
for our roads with income taxes. We could be paying more for airports,
etc. with our income taxes.

We already are shifting to more reasonable user fees for those that use the
government. We already have sales taxes for gasoline that pays for
our roads. We already have airport taxes that pay for our airports.
We have been paying a large profit to the Government to register our
web site names.

11. A VISION FOR THE HOLY LAND: I met
a Christian Arab from Jerusalem that had been an American for over 30 years
and he has a vision for a peaceful Holy Land. His vision is for the
United Nations to guarantee peace for a new state called the Holy Land made
up from Israel and Palestine. He sees the combined state becoming a
world's holy land that could quickly be transformed into a new garden of
Eden. I agree with this vision or anything better for the highest good
of all concerned. Who else would be in unity about this vision?

We mess up in the short run and God cleans up in the long run. That
is why letting go and letting God is about the long run and learning to relax
and help clean up is about the long run.

It is beginning to look like God has even more to clean up for Mr. John Ashcroft.
I am doing what I can to help.

Today, September 13, 2002, I heard on the radio that the FBI was searching
Mr. Hatfill's home for the third time. I wonder how many times
the FBI did that to
Richard
C. Jewell before discovering the error of their ways. Mr. Hatfill
had the courage to speak out against his inappropriate treatment, by our
current Attorney General, Mr. John Ashcroft. Mr. Hatfill may be paying
the price of standing up to little Johnnie.
In
the past, Johnnie has been known to hold a grudge for a very long time.
Look under "Judgeships"
here
for the rest of this:

How is Johnnie using his office to hound Mr. Hatfill being a loving, forgiving,
rational, Christian? I love you Johnnie, but someone needs to tell
you that you are bringing censure to your office, like you accused Clinton
of bringing censure to his office and your witness is not as a loving Christian.

"There's a difference between a culture that has no king but Caesar, no standard
but the civil authority, and a culture that has no king but Jesus, no standard
but the eternal authority. When you have no king but Caesar, you release
Barabas  criminality, destruction, thievery, the lowest and the least.
When you have no king but Jesus, you release the eternal, you release the
highest and the best.

It is not accidental that America has been the home of the brave and the
land of the free, the place where mankind has has the greatest of all
opportunities, to approach the potential that God has placed within us. It
has been because we knew that we were endowed not by the king, but by the
Creator, with certain inalienable rights. If America is to be great in the
future, it will be if we understand that our source is not civic and temporal,
but our source is godly and eternal. Endowed by the Creator with rights of
life, liberty and the pursuit if happiness. I thank God for this institution
and for you, who recognize and commit yourselves to the proposition that
we were so created, and that to live with respect to the Creator promises
us the greatest potential as a nation and as individuals. And for such we
must reacquaint ourselves daily with His call upon our lives."

Would Jesus or Caesar be hounding Mr. Hatfill?

Where are Mr. Hatfill's rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?

Pride. The mad cow disease is where the brains of cows become spongy
and stop functioning. The same happens to people that eat their meat.

They first noticed mad cows happening in England. They were too proud
to stop eating beef. More people died and they found that they had
been feeding cattle to cattle in their feed, to fatten them up for market.

The farmers were incentivized by greed. The animal feed manufactures
were incentivized by greed. They were doing this same thing in the
USA, until they found the problem. It is still going on by
mistakes.according to the 60 Minutes show. You see, it was still legal
to feed cattle to pigs and pigs to cattle. Of course, sooner or later
the cattle will be eating cattle through the pigs that ate cattle. It
is still legal to feed cattle blood to cattle. In england, they can
only feed grasses to cattle. In England they do better tests for the
disease.

France denied they had a problem like we are and it happened. Germany
denied they had a problem like we are and it happened. Italy denied
they had a problem like we are and it happened. Now Spain denied they
had a problem like we are and it happened. Our old friend denial from
pride.

We did not know better. When will we know better?

The disease is from a protein that is created by the mad cows. The
name of the disease suggests the problem. The problem with feeding
cattle to cattle is that they are designed to eat grass. When the spirit
of the cattle sees that they are eating cattle, species madness happens.
The madness disease spreads back to the species spirit that caused
the problem.

The problem may get fixed rapidly in the USA, when enough people refuse to
buy beef, until the system has taken at least the measures that England was
forced to take. Those that refuse to buy beef that has not been tested
need to tell the marketplace why. Or, the problem may get enough priority
when we find that enough people have died with MS like symptoms.

16. First, I am an Independent. I believe we need
a balance of power between the two major parties, to avoid the extremes,
of both of them. We need moderates, mediators.

Now, War or Inspections?

This is now 26 Feb 2003. Since we are likely to pay Turkey, several
billion dollars, to let our troops stage there, I would guess for that the
odds of going to war, instead of inspections, would be very high. Of
course our present fearless leader can not see how well he is playing into
the hands of Osama Bin Laden. I saw a
cartoon,
that shows some of Osama's wins from our fearless leader's decisions. Like
splitting NATO, alienated France, Germany and much of our world, getting
rid of the infidel Sadam, bringing new recruits to Osama's religious war,
and losing focus on Osama. Osama must think that God is with his cause,
from what Bush is delivering to him.

Most of us know that our fearless leader Bush, did not do much of what he
said in the campaign.

What did he actually do, except lower taxes, thereby lowering our confidence
in paying off our national debt?

Where are the Republicans that used to stand for fiscal responsibility and
the rule of law to protect our liberties?

Did He not say it was wrong to be nation building?

What about the Afghan nation?

What about his plans for Iraq?

Did He not say we should be a humble nation?

So why is He leading us to be a bully nation?

Did He not say we should have an exit strategy, before getting into war?

So why do we have His war on terrorism, that never ends, and where He is
becoming the terrorist?

Did He not say we should listen, to other nations?

Why is He isolated us from the wisdom of patience, in other nations?

Would He be so impatient, if his mother and father were not the targets of
a car bomb from Sadam, in the past in Kuwait?

We had the same mass destruction threats from Russia for over 40 years and
yet we had leaders with the patience to help them come to their senses.

We even had Nixon to do away with our germ and chemical warfare programs.

I will bet that we have some empty shells for that warfare that we lost when
we destroyed our stocks.

We could not find them, unless of course we had inspectors crawling all over
us.

This is now 11 March 2003, and our country is letting contracts to fix up
Iraq after the war. That certainly states the intentions of the current
administration.

I am giving one answer here. It is not the only answer. But,
when there is one reasonable answer, to begin to solve our challenge, then
there is a place to start.

There are answers out there, that are being pushed with our scarce dollar
resources, that do not make any practical sense now. They may not make
practical sense for a long time. One pushed answer, is to use hydrogen,
that our current fearless leader, included in his state of our union speech.

My first career was as an general engineer, that was mostly in charge of
planning and executing programs, as a team leader. As an engineer,
I know that producing hydrogen is expensive, at least so far. When
hydrogen is produced from electricity, you need very cost effective electricity.
That means going to a high percentage of atomic power and coal fired
plants. When you produce it from natural gas you lose a greater percentage
of the natural gas's energy and still produce CO2. When you get more
cost effective power, other users, like aluminum producers, will want to
use that power. And even when windmills could produce more cost effective
power at night, the other users, would switch to night use too.

There is a local firm that is saying that they can produce more cost effective
hydrogen, from natural gas. If they have success, then our alternative
of using natural gas directly in vehicles and homes, for the long term, is
in jeopardy. And of course, handling hydrogen is more difficult, than
handling natural gas. It would make more sense to just use the natural
gas directly as LNG. LNG = Liquid Natural Gas.

We already have hybrid engines, that use gas and batteries efficiently. My
proposal is to use organic oils, instead of gas, as the gas part of the hybrid
engines. The oil can be used directly in small diesel engines or small
turbine engines. Organic oil is now being used in diesels, but it not
quite cost effective yet. Organic oil production is almost cost effective
now and would become cost effective with large scale production. My
proposal is to use farming of soybeans and other oil producing plants.
That would expand our farming industry and provide cost effective animal
feed, food products and new stocks for producing plastics. That would
take away our dependence on foreign oil over time, and provide for the world's
needs for oil over the long haul.

Peanut oil was the fuel used on the first diesel engine. George W.
Carver even made plastic from peanut oil. Soybean oil was used by Ford
in their Model A car for making plastic and I had Model A cars over 30 years
later with that plastic still there. Mr. Ford wore suits made from
soybean oil, back when chemical engineering was in its infancy. Almost
half of the oil we use, is for industrial production now.

Our challenge is to shift over to farm produced organic fuels, and industrial
stocks, while we have the petroleum to make the shift. It will be less
painful to start our transition now. Our window of opportunity is closing,
and our current Nero is fiddling with hydrogen,
while we are burning up our opportunity. [Revised 4Dec03]

[Added 2Mar03]

How might we facilitate our transition, to using farm produced oils? One
way would be to ramp up federal taxes on imported oil and use the funds to
fund a direct subsity on farm produced oil as a matter of national defense
until we become energy independent. Then the taxes and subsities can
be ramped down as long as we remain capable of competing to produce our energy.

You might say, that our country is in denial, about our
energy situation. We are vulnerable now, to short oil supplies, and
the future "peak oil". You can google "peak oil", and see what our
challenges are. We have no long range plans, with any sense, when some
turned our bets to an impractical fuel like hydrogen, for our future.
Right now, funding hydrogen research is unwise over funding organic
diesels and is a false sop to some naive environmentalist and energy companies
that are unwise. Not funding other more practical alternatives like
organic diesel and hybrids, is most likely to lead to our future failure.

That is why waking up from our individual trances, is
more important than ever. How else can we take our country back, from
those that do not make sense? They do not make sense, because they
are in a trance of denial. They see the world as they wish is was,
not how it is. It is still true after over 2000 years, that we do not
yet know what we do.

What can we start doing right now, that would make more
sense? Stop buying gas cars that do not use hybrid technology. Buy
hybrid cars, to foster hybrid technology. Buy diesel cars, so that
you could burn organic oils, when you could not buy gas or diesel. That
would also foster our transition to a bio diesel economy. Have you
noticed how many diesel trucks are already on our highways now? We
are already partly there. If those trucks were burning hydrogen, they
would need an extra trailer behind to hold the hydrogen cylinders, and everything
would cost more to use hydrogen cylinders, and it would be a dirty deal to
produce hydrogen. Quit eating hydrogenated oils in your food, to reduce
the demand for dirty and energy inefficient hydrogen. Lobby your government
to push hybrid and diesel technology first. Lobby your government to
add organic oils to our diesel fuels to foster our transition. Lobby
your government to get away from the ideas of the impractical hydrogen heads.
Lobby your government to not specify where how alcohol is produced
for gasoline additives. Buying votes in corn producing states with our tax
money is a criminal and inefficient act, and your represenatives need to
know that. Lobby your government to shift from research on oil based
farming to bio oil based farming.

Roy got it right again, on this church and
state issue. This issue can be difficult to understand. Especially so, when
it is over a small part of this issue, like the display of a religious graven
image, by any level of our government. So, one has to understand the extremes,
to see what happens, with real examples of government supported religions.

When Christian churches were part of governments in Europe, they created
Inquisitions and Crusades. They also drove our founders out, to our shores,
to establish our religious freedoms. The real "Axis of Evil" in World War
II, had state religions, on the right, of Nazism and head of state worship.
There was even some cooperation of the Christian church in Germany and Italy.
Russia and China, had state religions, on the left, with the cult of Communism.
Religions with power and control become cults, no matter what form that they
come from. Religions must not be allowed the first inch, into any free
government. But, if any religion gets its way in, they will also wither away,
like Communism is withering away now, brought on by their corruption of power.
Many Muslim states are weak, because of their believe in church control of
state. The paradox is, that in our freedom, our religions have thrived in
our country, as they have withered in the long run, in countries with government
support. I do not want the vastness of God, made out to be smaller, by any
government.

When you look into the facts, like in the article below, there are real
challenges, that have nothing to do with the boogy men, that we are told
to fear. Maryland tried to limit awards by law, but it has not worked, because
that is not the real challenge.

A real challenge is that doctors, are not helping bad doctors recover. A
real challenge is that insurance companies, do not know the real challenges.
A real challenge is that most expenses in our health system, are really for
mental health challenges. A real challenge is that doctors and insurance
companies, resist mental health help and insist that it come from
"professionals".

One solution is rational "guidelines" for poor practice payments, instead
of limits. And, I do not mean like the sentencing guidelines, that are really
limits. Our politicians are getting more deceptive with our language.

Another solution is to offer group therapy, to the heavy users of the health
care system. Someone saved 80% of the costs this way.

One solution is the offer mental health support, to the bad doctors. Another
solution is to pay for success. That is give preference to practitioners
based on records of successful healing, considering the difficultity of the
symptoms and stop making certificantions mandatory. Those malpractice suits
are against certified professionals.
